Twitter says the new so-called “expanded tweets” do not count media attachments (photos, GIFs, videos, and polls) towards the 140-character limit. It also says it plans to exclude usernames in replies from the character count too, though an exact date for this has yet to be announced.

Elsewhere, this Corebird update fixes a problem with malformed media URL. Other bugs that have been fixed since its July’s release also include:

Fix muted and/or blocked tweets still showing up in timelines

Fix accounts not getting saved when first created

Fix retweets of the authenticating user not getting theiry correct seen status

Fix profiles descriptions containing ampersand characters and links

Fix profile banner fade-in transition

Fix doubly-escaped ampersands in link tooltips

Fix missing underlines in @screen_names in the profile popover
